Puzzles: Key Squares

Part of the The King and the Pawn section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 21 of 26.

Eight king walks. In every one the pawn stays where it is and the king goes to a key square - two ranks ahead of the pawn, or the sixth rank beside it - by the one road his king cannot block. Find the square first, then the road.
